Peej 0 #5 March 9, 2005 I can't see the vid for some reason but i'll hazard a guess and say that it's a reserve. I think on paragliders you have to feed them out by hand. This is what i've heard, maybe someone else, like a genuine paraglider dude would care to confirm? Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #6 March 9, 2005 yep, most paraglider reserves must be hand thrown, a couple are springloaded, and I don't know if they still exist but used to be rocket activated reserves which would get the reserve out of multiple layers of fabric in case of a wrap scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
